Joe's POV
I entered the living room the next morning to find Nick sitting up, rubbing his head. I'd forgotten he was here.
'Joe? What the fuck am I doing here?' He asked. 'Shit, my head is killing.'
'Don't you remember? You got drunk at Daniel's party last night and came here.' I reminded him.
'Did I? Oh. I can't remember much. The last thing I remember is doing shots with a group of guys including Daniel.' He told me.
'What, you can't remember our conversation last night?'
'Nope.' He paused. 'Why, what did we talk about?'
'Oh, not much.' I said vaguely. 'You were just swapping letters of people's names.' I didn't mention him saying anything about Katherine because I remembered him saying that he hadn't realised he liked Katherine. If I was right, then his sober head hadn't realised yet that he liked Katherine.
'Mate, have you got any paracetamol? I'm dying here.' He said.
'Yeah, one sec.' I went into the kitchen, grabbed a box of paracetamol and poured him a glass of water. I entered the living room and gave them to him.
'Cheers Joe.' He took a paracetamol and some water. 'I can't believe I got drunk last night.'
'Me neither. Nick, how do you feel about Katherine?'
'What?' He looked up. 'why?'
'Just wondering.' I shrugged nonchalantly.
'Well, I don't know. I mean, she's a good friend, and I admire her intelligence because she is very clever, but, I don't know. Are you asking if I've got feelings for her??' He asked.
'Erm, not really. Why, do you?'
'Not really.' He looked thoughtful. 'I mean, she's pretty and smart, but she's too cold and prickly. I mean, I can tell she's nice and cares about her friends but no, I don't have feelings for her like that.'
'Oh right. Well, we'd better get ready, we're meeting the others in town soon.' I dropped the subject.

Katherine's POV
I arrived just outside the local shop where we'd all agreed to meet. 'Hey guys.'
'Hey Katherine, how was your night?' Daniel asked.
'Yeah, it was alright. You got drunk, didn't you?' I guessed.
'Yep and suffered a huge hangover because of it.' He said. 'Nick got drunk too you know.'
'Really?' I laughed. 'You got smashed Nick?'
'Yep. My head's still hurting.' He told me.
'Don't be such a pussy, you only had a couple beers and a few shots.' Daniel teased.
'Yeah, then he turned up at my house, drunk off his ass.' Joe interjected.
'I still can't believe that!' I laughed.
'Yeah well, I can't wait for next time!' Nick said. 'Last night was awesome.'
